Usage Guide

Overseeding an existing lawn

● Remove any dead grass, weeds or moss by scarifying / raking the area
● Rake the area enough so that the soil is loose and not compact
● Allow the seedbed to cultivate for 10-14 days to encourage any weeds to come to the surface, then remove any weeds that appear by hand
● Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 35g per m2, by using a seed spreader or your hand
● Rake the seed in after sowing so that the seed is in amongst the soil
● Firm down by foot or by using a roller to improve seed to soil contact
● Water the just-sown seed well

Sowing a new lawn

● Dig the soil over to a depth of 20-25cm
● Remove weeds by hand or use a weed killer
● Add top soil if you believe the soil to be poor quality or unlevel
● Rake the area to get a level seedbed
● Allow the seedbed to cultivate for 10-14 days to encourage any weeds to come to the surface, then remove any weeds that appear by hand
● Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 50g per m2, by using a seed spreader or your hand

Aftercare

● Ensure your client waters their lawn deeply and daily for the next six weeks, avoiding if there is prolonged rainfall
● Their lawn will take up to 6 weeks to fully establish
● Once there is an even coverage throughout the lawn and grass blades are hitting heights of 5-7cm, the lawn is ready for its first mow on the highest setting
● To keep the lawn healthy, green and disease / weed free, recommend that your client regularly fertilises the lawn
